Northwestern’s breakout RB with real Big Ten carry juice
Komolafe looks like a **workhorse, downhill runner** who broke out in 2025 with **941 rushing yards and 11 touchdowns on 190 carries**, giving Northwestern a reliable inside-out threat who can also help as a receiver out of the backfield.[14][15][6] His value is bigger than the box score: he’s shown the ability to handle volume, produce in key stretches, and translate that into a trusted role in a new offensive setup, which makes him a strong fit for teams that want a physical RB with starting-caliber usage upside rather than a pure speed merchant.[14][11][9]
